title: [Difficulties of epidemic measures in Fadd and Józsefváros].
abstract: Authors draw attention to their own experience about the occurrence and epidemic measures of tuberculosis in two micro-regions of Hungary, Fadd and Józsefváros situated far from each other. According to data from the National Statistical Office of Hungary, tuberculosis does not belong to the most significant causes of morbidity and mortality. However, it still represents a notable factor in national healthcare and public health. Currently, tuberculosis is not an important issue to be regulated by health care decision makers or at the level of legislation. Based on their own experience, authors suggest reconsidering the possibility of epidemic measures for the prevention of tuberculosis.
